CHICAGO: Global Punjabi Milaap will be held on Saturday August 22, at Holiday Inn in Mt. Prospect, a northwest suburb of Chicago at 2pm.

“We have been hosting Global Punjabi Milaap since 2003 and we have brought many Punjabi people together by hosting it jointly with Indian and Pakistani communities,” said Sajid Chaudhry.

“We have highlighted topics like Punjab di Saanjh, The Legend Waris Shah, Baba Bulleh Shah and this year the topic is “Riwaz Punjab De”, he added

He said, “If anyone would like to take part please let us know by August 15th. We have already requested S. Ashok Bhaura, S.Surinder Sohal and Ms.Shakti Manak. She is the daughter of legendary singer Shri Kuldip Manak. Ms Shakti will emcee most of the program.

It is an attempt to bring together people who were uprooted during partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. This is also the way to connect younger generation with our history and make them aware of our rich heritage.
